Paddy Pimblett traded personal insults with Jordan Leavitt before their fight - but has admitted he almost felt bad after submitting him.
Pimblett, 27, picked up his third consecutive UFC win last month by submitting Leavitt in London. It marked the Liverpudlian's second win of the calendar year in the capital having also submitted Kazula Vargas at The O2 arena in March. Leavitt had downplayed Pimblett's abilities in the build-up to the fight, which angered Pimblett as he promised to 'teabag' on him after their bout.
Reflecting on a moment where Leavitt was visibly upset whilst stood next to his coaches after being submitted, Pimblett admitted he had mixed emotions watching the fight back. "I feel harsh when I watch it back and see Jordan stood there like that, but he was talking all pony beforehand so he got dealt with," he told BT Sport.
